Only a Small Percentage of People Actually Want Robot Sex

If there's one thing we can learn from sci-fi movies, it's that robots are likely in our future. As in, we won't drive cars, they will drive us (Google's already on that one).

According to a new poll from HuffPost/YouGov, some of us are a little more excited than others at the prospect of having robots among us—apparently nine percent of people surveyed would be totally down to get it on with a bot. (Hey, it's way less weird than doing the nasty with an alien, right?)

While some might find this idea troubling—like, what if robot sex replaced sex-sex?—there might be some perks to doing it with a non-human: No need to worry about him (or you) getting attached, no breakfast to cook the next morning, and no 2 a.m. booty calls. Plus, we'd assume that you could program the robot to do whatever you want, however you want it. (So…when will these sex-bots become available?)

Still, when it comes to our collective robot dreams, more people (33 percent) said would prefer a robot servant to a robot sex slave. Who, we assume, could do the dishes and vacuum while we're in the next room getting some human-to-human contact.
